Review: When I started watching this (that is after the first 20 minutes), a ray of hope invaded my spirit… that is until 20 minutes into the movie.Anything that happened after that period is utter garbage and I cant state enough reasons without making this a bible instead of a review, so I will state a few points.1- Sound: Really BAD equalization and i mean BAD, like from someone who doesnt know anything about audio. The bass and LFE is so OVER THE PLACE that you cant recognize an explosion from a character walking from a monster screaming… its all LOUD LOUD LOUD, its so LOUD that you either cover your ears or throw up. Hint to audio mixer guy: if you put a loud bass to everything you saturate the spectrum, you will loose the shock value and just irritate the viewer.2- Script: I really dont know why in this world a director will put such good actors to such lame roles, they dont have anything meaningful to say, they just go on about a plan to destroy the monsters and they go on an on forever.. without ANY character development.3- Directing: Important parts relegated as non-important, totally unimportant parts taking the front seat in filming. Hint to director: Godzilla fights ARE the main attraction for watching this movie, if you give us 10 seconds of fight and you then put Godzilla onto the background and blurry it out to show 20 minutes of an imbecile trying to device a plan on how to stop Godzilla you should be bound be hated by the viewers. We wanted to SEE GODZILLA not half the movie wasted on stupid military tactics that amounts to ZERO in the movie.4-Common Sense: Anything that common sense dictates is not present in this movie, the amount of situations in which the characters are trying to resolve it in the worst possible way, and I mean a way which you will scream at the screen are you THAT STUPID? are excessive. Nothing fits, its like the director gone straight from the education center to his first movie, he dont have the slightest clue on how to properly do a movie.5- Shock Value: When the best scare in the whole movie is a group of pigeons impacting a BUS window (I am NOT joking) you know something gone terrible wrong in the process..Conclusion: When youre watching the movie with your little kids and your 6 years old girl says out loud What is this crap??! I wanna see Godzilla! you know youre watching a piece crap. (Specially when they loved the previous one).The previous Godzilla was bad, but if you measure this to the older one you need to completely redesign a set of values in which this movie will be bad and the previous one awesome and this is plain disgusting because this Godzilla looks amazing, but somehow, the director didnt saw appropriate to gives us more of this one and less of the military.This is the WORST monster movie you will ever see in your life. Big Ass Spiders! is a lot more fun than this and that was a B-Movie filmed as a B-Movie and the actors were laughing through the movie!.

Review: Who knew Captain America could pull of a performance quite like this. Very reminiscent of the 1939 classic Metropolis Snowpiercer is an isolated story set on a train, called Snowpiercer. This movie has seemingly went under the radar but will be known for years to come as a hidden gem, I hope more people see it, it deserves to be experienced. This is the first Joon-ho Bong directed film Ive ever watched, but Ill be keeping an eye on his future releases for sure. The writing also needs to be commended, once again it is Joon-ho Bong who deserves the credit among others. Snowpiercer is a completely original take on the bloated post-apocalyptic genre and is a breath of fresh air among the huge summer Blockbusters. It is regrettable that the final act, or more precisely the ending itself falls short of what could have been a masterpiece. The year is 2031, a failed climate change experiment has plummeted the earth into a new ice-age. A Noahs ark-esque high speed locomotive powered by a perpetual-engine, developed by the godlike and elusive Wilford has circled the planet for 17 years. However a class system has emerged resulting in the impoverished working class individuals being located near the rear of the train while the elite and upper-classes live lavishly towards the engine and the front of the train. Curtis (Chris Evans), Gilliam (John Hurt) and Edgar (Jamie Bell) hatch a plan to take the engine, essentially whoever owns the engine owns the train. I will say no more, I went into this movie blind and I hope you will do the same. As I said this is fresh and new but it will unfortunately be lost in the summer movie season. Moreover the movie has a twisted sense of humour, impressive action sequences and a quirky style but somehow stays grounded in reality. Allowing for a seamless blend of the art house and science-fiction genres. Some scenes may have seemed out of place if Bong was not at the helm, thankfully it all contributes greatly to the overall package and doesnt impair the viewing experience. In fact they perfectly highlight the drastic differences between the class systems.Captain America himself Chris Evans gives the performance of his career as Curtis, the leader of the working class revolution. He is physically imposing, intelligent and beneath the surface a psychologically and physically drained individual who essentially has the weight of the world on his shoulders. There is much more to his character than meets the eye. This is a huge departure from his other roles and I only hope he manages to find a way to accommodate these more subtle roles into his schedule. His co-stars and brothers in arms Edgar (Jamie Bell) and Gilliam (John Hurt) do a fantastic job creating an almost family like dynamic. Hurt is undoubtedly Curtis father figure while Bell is essentially the younger brother Curtis never had. Furthermore, the audience through Curtis are able to build a relationship with their characters. The character of Mason (Tilda Swinton) is extremely quirky allowing for extremely dark, sadistic humour making her virtually unrecognisable. Her scenes forced me to watch uncomfortably as she oppresses and humiliates the working class passengers. Despite it being so cruel and frankly disgusting I was enthralled by her performance, also Alison Pill who plays an overly enthusiastic, eccentric and downright creepy pregnant teacher is fantastic. Additionally certain members of the supporting cast such as Octavia Spencer (Tanya) and Ewen Bremner (Andrew) are serviceable, reinforcing the messages of social satire as their children are taken away for an ambiguous purpose. However I was let down by the Namgoong Minsoo (Kang-ho Song) the tech wizard and Snowpiercer security expert, while well-acted I found his character quite uninteresting and boring. Unfortunately I have to report that it does fall short toward the end, following a heartfelt monologue from Curtis the movie seems to be rushed, attempting but failing at tying things up i…

Review: OK big fan of the 1st one, and I do like the 2nd one (directors cut though) and I can also see why some did not like the 2nd, it has some issues but the main one was the ALIEN 3 problem, that been after Aliens and all its army and guns, ALIEN 3 was no guns no army……people wanted more of the same, which in this case its funny to see that a 3rd Riddick film which gives people Riddick vs monsters is getting its a rehash Not sure what people want from a film like this, its pure comic book action, and I loved it, but you have to see what they were playing with, less than half the budget of the 2nd film and half as long to shoot, this is a labour of love for the Director and Vin, by todays PG13 Hollywood standards its a miracle it was made as a R/15, as for the film itself they seemed to make good use of the low budget, some very nice setups and yes in parts the low budget shows but as a whole its good, and that about sums up the film…GOOD, I rate it higher than most of Joe public but I am a fan and get more of a kick out of it, and going by the others in the cinema the feeling was a good action film while fans came out great, been waiting ages for this, now give us a 4th, finish the story I will go see it again and look forward to the BluRay
